stood leaning on his safe toying with re-
volver, making elaborate preparations for
suicide and keeping the crowd at bay with
the weapon, threatening to kill any one
who approached. D. B. Kennedy, his best
friend, came into the saloon at the time
and running towards Grigsby, said: "He
shan't be allowed to kill himself, poor fell
low; will save him." Notwithstanding
the command to halt, Kennedy pressed on
and was shot through the heart. The
maniac realized what he had done, sank
to the floor helpless, moaning, ''The gal
lows, the gallows, am going to the gal
lows" He is now raving maniac.

Come in, Country People.

All the arrangements for the grand ball
| at the Park hotel are completed. 1t will
be for the benefit Of the Pioneer Hook &
Ladder Company, and on that account
alone should meet with liberal patronage.
Everything has been provided to render
| the affair brilliant success. The cele
brated Fort Shaw band will render the
finest music, while the spacious rooms Of
the Park hotel will afford the amplest
| room for the may waltz or the ever-pop-
ular auaorille. While the attendance
will be large there will be no crush like
| that which is SO great drawback to balls
| in the large cities.
The dancing programme has been ar
ranged with taste and judgement 1t is
understood that it will begin with the
"Grand Fireman's March and quadrille,"
which will be followed by waltzes, quad
rifles, the Virginia reel, schottisches, Ian
eiers, the Sicilian circle, Old Dan Tucker
and other popular dances. There will
thus be a dance to please every one.
Young and ardent people will find recrea-
ton in the waltz, while the more reserved
will derive enjoyment from the quadrille,
Virginia reel and lancier.
An interval will be devoted to supper,
which will be served in his best style by
Mr.. Ehrhart of the Park hotel. After
supper dancing will be resumed and main
tanned until a late, or rather early, hour
The dry goods, clothing and other stores
have made ample provision for the grand
ball. They have the latest novelties in
their respective lines. People should
buy early and order at once any articles
which are to be made in this city.

J. I. King returned Saturday evening
from trip to Flat creek, where he went
after his team and also to search for the
body of Tony Vodil, who was recently
drowned in that stream, full account Of

After some search Mr.. King succeeded in
finding Tony;s remains about half mile

was almost entirely covered by sand and
drift-wood Owing to the advanced state
of decomposition of the remains, it was
thought advisable to bury him there until

ed as to the future disposition of the re-
mains. The unfortunate mans wife was

Hathorn spring, that gushes out of an
aperture in q rock, is the one in favor
But, as you know, there are dozens of
springs of all tastes and of various density
of saline qualities. But the air, apart
from the waters, is well worth coming
for. My journey from st. Paul was no
trifie, particularly as that interstate
William compelled us to walk. Even
from Great Falls, the tagged business
man would find himself repaid for the

This week the Army of the Potomac

the saddle On the field. Goodness, how
much history we have made since then!

PRICES TENDING UPWARD.
Advices From the Great Wool Markets
Recent Sales n Boston.

BosToN, June 17.-According to Dewey
Gould q Cos report, the receipts of do
mestic for the week have been 1887 bales
against 1851 bales for the corresponding
week in 1886, 1854 bales in 1885, and
II ,O66 bales in 1884. The imports of
foreign for the same time have been 4,O15
bales, against 1906 bales in 1885, 2,166
bales In 1885, and 200 bales in 1884
| THE TONE OF THE MARRET.
| The business in both domestic and
| foreign wool during the week has been
large and the sales foot up 9,479, 800
pounds. The market is extremely steady
at about the prices quoted last week on
old. Considerable new wool is arriving
that cannot be sold even at present prices,
owing to its high cost. This fact has of
course an influence On holders of supplies
of old wool, who are more unwilling than
previously to sell. notwithstanding the
frmness which prevails, as soon as an
offer is made at a price admitting of a
profit, there is very little hesitation on the
part of dealers, and the bargain is gener-
ally quickly clinched. On the whole.
there is not that confidence in the future
of the market which is found elsewhere.
A few dealers are very pronounced in their
views, but the majority are unwilling to
place faith in a permanent advance of
prices SO long as most lines of weolen
goods remain inactive and manufacturers
talk so discouragingly.
MEDIUM wooLs
The position of medium wools is still
very strong one, and large transactions
have again been made at full prices, which
are high as compared with those quoted
few weeks ago, but not high in compari-
son with the cost in the interior. Fine
wools are frmer in sympathy with other
grades, and with the advancing tendency
of the London market. New woods in
Michigan, Ohio and elsewhere are being
sold at high prices which are equal to the |
prices quoted for old wool on the seaboard. |
Atthe close, the tone of the market here, in |
huenced by the frmness in other domestic |
markets and abroad, was very strong and |
the tendency of prices upward.
FOREIGN MARKETS.
A dispatch from London, received here |
yesterday, says: "Market animated and |
demand good. Of woods suitable for |
America very little has been offered. Com
pared with the opening rates of the cur
rent series of sales, prices are now in
favor of sellers"
UNWAsHED wOOLs.
The sales of unwashed wool have been |
s37,4oo lbs. territory; $4,000 lbs spring
Texas; $4,000 lbs. Kentucky; $4,000 lbs. |
Missouri; 1000 lbs. Georgia; $4,000 lbs.
Oregon; 10000 lbs California; and 217,- |
800 lbs. unwashed and unmerchantable |

Territory woods have been comparative
ly quiet, but prices are steady and un-
changed. A choice lot of No. Montana
sold at 27c. Sales of medium territory
were at % to 25c, and fine sold down to
18c per pound. A choice lot of No. fine
brought "a to 26c.
